Scott Carson is no longer a reserve officer and is no longer qualified to be a Blue Knight but is invited to attend all rides and events.

Sean Fullerton has been tasked with putting together the 1st Annual Texas XXXV Jaime Padron Memorial Iron Butt Run (1000 miles in 24 hours) which will start April 05, 2014 and end back in San Angelo on the anniversary of Officer Padron’s EOW, April 6, 2014. Brian Bylsma made a motion tasking Sean Fullerton to spear head the run and it was second by Michael Campbell.

The funds from the fund raiser will go to a scholarship fund, in the name of Officer Padron, to a local college student. This is being done with the blessing of Jaime’s parents. They have been advised that the bulk of the money raised will go to the scholarship with a small portion being used for our overhead.

The exact route for the Iron Butt Run will be announced by Sean Fullerton at a later date. Blue Knights Texas XIII, from Austin, will be participating during a portion of the route. The route will be going through Austin and will be stopping at the Round Rock Harley Davidson, where Jaime purchased his motor cycle, with the media being present. Brian Bylsma will be asking Austin Police Chief Acevedo for a police escort when the rider go through Austin.

Brian Bylsma’s son designed a patch for the memorial run and he made a motion that the design be accepted. It was second by Carey Balentine and passed unanimously by members present.

All participants will receive a patch and an Iron Butt membership number.

We will need volunteers who will not be participating in the run to help with the administrative part (official time keepers) and anything else involved while the riders are on the run. We will also be having the media present here in San Angelo for when the riders come in.

We are asking members to seek sponsors to help with donations to help pay for the fuel and for the scholarship fund. Brian Bylsma and Sean Fullerton are making a personal goal to raise 500.00 dollars each. If anyone is able to get sponsors please try to get the money in advance so that we know how much we have to work with.

Upcoming events: 09/07/13 @ Pecan Creek Pavilion – BBQ from 2pm to 4pm to benefit a local realtor who has been diagnosed with cancer.
